This dataset comprises GPS location analyzed in Lamb et al. (2017): 165,562 deployed GPS locations, for 81 Eastern brown pelicans (25 in Florida, 27 in Louisiana, and 29 in Texas) tracked from 2013-04-24 to 2016-02-05. Funding for this study was provided by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and U.S. Geological Survey (Interagency Agreement no. M12PG00014). The Eastern Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis carolinensis) is a large-bodied seabird that nests in colonies of 10 to upwards of 5,000 pairs, on nearshore barrier islands in subtropical and tropical North American waters. It breeds between March and August, laying 2–3 eggs and raising 1–2 chicks per year. The species is facultatively migratory during...

This dataset comprises reference data for each individual bird included in Lamb et al. (2017). Reference data include, but are not limited to, colony name, nest coordinates, nest content, culmen size, tag manufacturer, etc. Funding for this study was provided by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and U.S. Geological Survey (Interagency Agreement no.

Relatively little is known about the distribution, abundance and spatio-temporal variability of marine birds in their habitats of the Eastern coast of the U.S. A number of surveys have been conducted over the last 10-15 years, but analyzing these data in a unifed framework is difficult due to the use of different sampling methods, spatial and temporal scales, as well as lack of sampling design. Thus, we incorporate a multi-scale approach to develop models for the space-time distribution and abundance of marine birds to identify potential high-use areas in need of further study. With data taken from past and ongoing survey efforts, we provide relative abundance and density estimates for marine birds over a wide geographical...
